ICLS Template High performance schools focus on construction elements that provide maximum benefit for the learning environment, while delivering superior energy performance. The Integrated Classroom Lighting System (ICLS) meets the needs of the high performance classroom, requires just 5 integrated components to complete the system, and is backed by a 5-year single source warranty from Finelite the company that sets the standard for service in the lighting industry. Indirect/Direct Luminaires Luminaire Teacher Control Center Sensors Master On/Off Switch Two rows of two-scene indirect/direct luminaires are mounted perpendicular to the main teaching wall (parallel to the window wall) and spaced 14-15 apart. A dedicated luminaire is used to illuminate the whiteboard on the main teaching wall. The Teacher Control Center (TCC) is placed at the front of the classroom. Place teacher controls within 6 of the whiteboard for easy access. Sensors are placed in the center of the classroom and always include occupancy and daylight harvesting, (added where appropriate). Master On/Off Switches are installed by every door of the classroom. 2
ICLS - Single Source Solution Installing ICLS takes just 10 man hours! Finelite products install faster and easier than traditional lighting products. Our luminaires arrive at the jobsite fully assembled with all the necessary hanging hardware, and the ICLS system uses robust plug and play wiring components with patented technology to reduce the number of electrical connections required. The times listed below are conservative estimates that can be used to estimate your next ICLS project. Start Up 1 HOUR 15 MINUTES Every project is different.

Power Control Center The Power Control Center (PCC) takes line voltage from building power and then carries power to, and communicates with ICLS system components. This robust unit is constructed of heavy duty 16-gauge steel, is easy to install and maintain, and is built to last the life of the installation. Occupancy Sensor Teacher Control Center Row 1 Row 2 Master On/Off Switch Product Features that Reduce Installation Time QUICK & EASY Installation Plug & Play Plenum rated plug and play wiring is used to connect the PCC to the TCC and sensors. Plug and play wiring is provided by Finelite for each job. The PCC comes pre-wired and ready to be installed. Installation is easy just mount the PCC, connecting building and fixture power as indicated, and run low voltage plug and play wiring to the TCC and sensors. Terminal Strips Terminal strips are used to speed installation and ensure the electrical connections are secure. Knockouts Heavy duty knockouts accommodate 1/2" to 3/4" conduit. The box is constructed of 16-gauge steel. Wiring Label Panel The wiring label panel clearly identifies every wiring connection for ease of installation and maintenance. Diagnostic Tools Diagnostic LED s show installers and maintenance teams when the unit is receiving power and when power is reaching the whiteboard luminaire, indirect luminaires, and occupancy sensor. 4
